Methodology This report draws on data collected in 21 countries through two rounds of the Disrupting Harm research project, including surveys and in-depth interviews. Most statistics presented in this report are based on nationally representative survey data collected between 2020 and 2025 from approximately 21,000 internet-using children aged 12–17, living in these 21 countries. The countries included are: Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania and Uganda (Eastern and Southern Africa); Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam (Southeast Asia), Brazil, Colombia, the Dominican Republic and Mexico (Latin America and the Caribbean); Armenia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia (Eastern Europe and Central Asia); and Pakistan (South Asia). Some analyses draw on new questions that were only asked in nine countries in the second round of the Disrupting Harm project, which included around 9,000 children living in Armenia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, North Macedonia, Mexico, Montenegro, Pakistan and Serbia. These analyses are indicated by an obelus (†). The statistical estimates are based on a comparable seven-indicator measure of technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse used across both rounds of research, providing insights into patterns observed across countries over the past five years, but during different time periods. For more information on the statistical analysis see the Appendix. The quotes presented are direct testimonies from in-depth interviews with over 100 children or young people who were subjected to technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse during childhood (90 women/girls and 10 men/boys, aged 1624, living in Armenia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, North Macedonia, Mexico, Montenegro and Serbia). Interviews were conducted between 2024–2025. The narrative and insights present a synthesis of all these data. Through Children’s Eyes Introduction 9
